Next Waves

Executive Summary

Next Waves defines the recommended work sequence after the v0.1 Blueprint Foundation. The recommended next release is v0.2 Architecture Foundation, followed by Engineering, Mobile UX, Web UX, and Integration layers.

Why This Exists

The Blueprint now has enough business architecture to move forward, but implementation should not begin by jumping directly to code. The next waves should translate the operating model into architecture and engineering foundations while preserving existing ownership decisions.

Owner

The owner is the Chief Product Officer and Enterprise Architect.

Business Value

Next Waves provides sequencing discipline. It helps the team avoid premature implementation, prevents architecture drift, and ensures engineering work mirrors the organization, Domains, Practices, AIOS, capabilities, and processes already defined.

Priority Wave Purpose
1 Architecture Layer Translate Domains, Practices, AIOS, capabilities, and processes into architecture views without implementation code.
2 Engineering Layer Define engineering standards, modular boundaries, repository conventions, testing, CI/CD, quality gates, and development workflows.
3 Mobile UX Layer Define mobile experience architecture for the Digital Procurement Headquarters, executive briefings, approvals, tasks, learning, and notifications.
4 Web UX Layer Define web experience architecture for headquarters, Board Room, War Room, Proposal Studio, Compliance Centre, Marketplace, Academy, and Intelligence Centre.
5 Integration Layer Define external integration boundaries, partner systems, identity integrations, messaging, document ingestion, marketplace/funding integrations, and event contracts.

v0.2 Architecture Foundation Scope

Recommended v0.2 topics:

  • Architecture overview.

  • Security architecture.
  • Tenant isolation architecture.
  • AI architecture.
  • AIOS architecture alignment.
  • Memory architecture implementation boundaries.
  • Workflow architecture.
  • Integration architecture.
  • Reporting architecture.
  • UX architecture alignment.
  • Architecture decision records.

Remaining Process Waves

Recommended future process waves:

  • Organization Management.
  • Opportunity Monitoring and Watchlists.
  • Notification Operations.
  • Billing and Subscription Operations.
  • Identity and Access Operations.
  • Platform Administration.
  • Data Governance and Organizational Memory.
  • Customer Support and Success.
  • Integration Management.
  • Audit and Governance Review.

Risks and Open Questions

Risk or Question Recommendation
Architecture may drift from the operating model Use Architecture Mirror Principle as a design review gate.
Domains may be treated as UI modules Preserve DDD ownership and source-of-truth boundaries.
Digital Professionals may be treated as chatbots Preserve Professional model, authority, memory, tools, KPIs, and guardrails.
AIOS may be implemented before architecture is stable Define AIOS architecture alignment in v0.2 before runtime decisions.
UX may become a feature list Anchor UX in Digital Procurement Headquarters and Practice operating model.
Integrations may create duplicate source facts Integration Layer must preserve Domain ownership and event boundaries.
Automation may bypass approvals Approval gates and human accountability must remain explicit.

v0.2 should be considered complete when:

  • Architecture layers are documented and navigable.
  • Domain-to-module mapping is clear.
  • Event ownership and event flows are defined.
  • Data ownership and persistence responsibilities are defined.
  • AIOS architecture alignment is documented without over-implementing.
  • Security and tenant isolation principles are explicit.
  • UX architecture reflects the Digital Procurement Headquarters.
  • Integration boundaries preserve source ownership.
  • ADR standards are used for major architecture decisions.
